The luminosity of the sun governs the temperature of the planets.
And the solar forcing, or driving, of climate, primarily due to
changes insolar radiation, is an idea whose history has not been
well documented in a book. Recent satellite measurements have shown
that solar radiation varies as a function of wavelength - a concept
that for the past two centuries scientists have claimed would be
proved. Now, with all of the attention being given to global
warming, this topic has again become timely. The book will review
the physics of the concept of solar forcing in manageable terms,
tracing its history from its beginnings in the early 1800s toits
apparent success in the 1920s, to its near demise in the 1950s and
its resurrection in recent years. Emphasis will be on solar
variation as a driver for climate change, with only a brief
discussion of other mechanisms - thus assuring the book a clear
focus.
